This course provides attendees with an understanding of how movement patterns contribute to osteoarthritis progression and how biomechanics impacts short- and long-term outcomes after joint arthroplasty. Clinical tools to objectively measure biomechanics, as well as interventions to restore normal movement patterns for individuals with knee osteoarthritis will be discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Learn suggested exercises and proper running biomechanics designed to increase hip muscle strength and reduce the risks of pain and injury due to running. Knee and ankle health will also be addressed in this course. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course will review the extensor tendon anatomy and the various contribution of extrinsic and intrinsic muscles to the extensor tendon mechanism. A brief overview and rationale for the utilization of immobilization, early passive motion, or early active motion protocols for each of the extensor tendon zones will be described. **Please have a tight-fitting glove and 4 markers for the demonstration portion of the talk. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA

Pain neuroscience education consists of educational sessions for patients describing in detail the neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain and pain processing by the nervous system. Through Pain Neuroscience Education patients have been found to have a reduction in fear avoidance behaviors and are more able and willing to move. This course is an introduction to Pain Neuroscience Education and the basics to get you started. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
